Hill County, Texas
was formed from Navarro County and came into her own 14 May 1853.
Dr. George Washinton Hill was the secretary of war and secretary
of the navy in Sam Houston's cabinet for whom the county is named.
After the annexation, Hill resumed the practice of medicine in
Navarro County.

Did you know that
Abbott, Texas is the home of Willie Nelson? You can read more
about his family rootshere! The T. B. Pharmacy is the
oldest pharmacy in Hill County. Hubbard is the home of illistrator/painter
Mark English. Ghost sightings have been recorded all over the
county but the most noted are at Ash Creek, Cottonbell Lake Dam,
and at a Mount Calm Burial ground. Did you know there is a USGenWeb
for kids? Check it outhere!

Note: At this time links
to Rootsweb are not working as their site has been down for three
months or longer.

Great site - with links
to Hill Co. Deeds 1855-1875; Obituary Index; Maddox Grocery Store
and Osceola Gin; History of Old Lebanon Church and Cemetery;
Abandoned Cemeteries and Funeral Directors & lots more. They
can help you locate family information since they live in the
county. I live in East Texas and do not get to Hillsboro very
often.
